The International Criminal Court (ICC) is seeking to question
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria over his recent public remarks regarding
alleged procurement of witnesses.
In two email exchanges that the Nation
has seen, the court wants to “discuss recent articles suggesting that
you and Martha Karua were involved in in procuring witnesses resulting
in ICC prosecutions”.
The meeting will take place on Friday, October 9, at Parliament.
In
the emails, the court investigator remains non-committal on whether Mr
Kuria is being questioned as a potential suspect or witness in the
ongoing cases.
“Subject
to our discussions today, and your request that I correspond to you by
email, I would like to meet you in Nairobi,” an email from an ICC
investigator, dated September 29, states.
According
to the ICC, the meeting would be to “ascertain the accuracy of the
statements attributed to you in the media during a recorded interview,
should you be so willing”.
The correspondence indicates it is Mr Kuria who suggested that the meeting take place at Parliament.
“In
principal I have no problem meeting with you and/or your team. However,
kindly clarify whether you would want me to meet you as someone with
information that may help you, in which case I do not require my lawyers
present or you would want to talk to me as a suspect in which case I
need to invite my lawyers,” Mr Kuria said in the email
